Plans are coming together

[auntiemeesh]

I'm still waiting on confirmation of a few not-so-minor details like where I'm going to stay, but it looks like I'll be heading back to Pgh in about two and a half weeks. I'll tell my boss that my last day at the preschool will be Friday, May 12. I can get a pretty cheap flight out of Boston on the 14, so lyda_pearl and I will drive down on Saturday, spend the day doing Bostony things and then she'll take me to the airport on Sunday and I'll be on my way.

Much as I'm looking forward to going home, it will be hard to say goodbye to my sister. She has been amazingly supportive in any number of ways this past year and I think I would probably have gone insane without her.

Okay, now I'm going to go off and write *gasp* hobbit-fic. I really have to get to get Luster finished before I lose all interest in it (I've been a bad fic!mom and have pretty much abandoned my poor little baby fic). Finding any level of concentration is going to be difficult because they started a way cool 'sex, drugs and rock & roll' challenge at sga_flashfic and I want to go read everything, Right Now. But Pippin has been lingering in the hurt part of h/c for months now and really, we need to get that lad some comfort. *pets Pippin and promises to make him all better*

Edit: Poor Pippin is still sadly lingering (I am working on him though, promise), but the travel plans have been cemented! I made my purchase and I'm all set to go. Yay! Okay, now that old 'fear of flying' thing kicks in; my chest already feels tight. Yippee.

How are you going to move all your stuff?
=D

Lyda Pearl and I discussed this before I moved ahead with this plan. Because any apartment I could get from here, without actually seeing, would be pretty dicey, we thought it would be better for me to fly home as soon as the semester was over. That way I would have a couple of weeks to find an apartment (the hope is to find one for June 1st). Then, once I have a place and I'm ready to move in, she'll drive my stuff and the cats down.

It's far from ideal. It's a really long drive to have to make, especially by herself, but I'm not sure what else to do. I could get most things shipped, I suppose, although I'd have to do it in shifts and spurts as I had money, but I can't mail the cats and I don't think LP would appreciate me leaving them here. Not to mention I would hate to lose them (although they will make the apartment hunting just that little bit harder).

All in all, it's a shitty plan, but it's better than not having a plan. :(
